Google Calendar is meant to be precisely that, a calendar. The app serves as the default way you keep up with events and appointments on a stock Android device. As a result, some users were a little miffed when the big 5.0 redesign stripped the app of its ability to display a month's worth of events on a phone's screen at once.

With 5.2, that changes.

What's New?

5.1 could show a single day, three days, or a week. 5.2 bumps this up to a full month. The option to do so is listed alongside the previous ones, but don't go looking for them in the same spot. Google has moved them from the action bar to the navigation drawer.

This update also lets you see the color of events when jumping to a specific date. These show up as little dots in the pull-down calendar, as you can see in the image Google posted to Google+.

If you spot 5.2 doing something else differently, let us know. For many folks, it really doesn't have to. They're already rushing toward the link below.

Download

The APK is signed by Google and upgrades your existing app. The cryptographic signature guarantees that the file is safe to install and was not tampered with in any way. Rather than wait for Google to push this download to your devices, which can take days, download and install it just like any other APK.

Its actually really sad that having month view is considered a "feature".

It's not considered as a feature (as home screen in landscape or 3rd party keyboard are considered in 2014, for example). The point is, it was there before, Google removed it, and now is back, therefore we are celebrating here on the dark side. Praise our lord!

There's really no reason to IMO. Today > Calendar, any day

There is an annoying bug with today calendar when using month view and trying to add an item that really makes me hate it.

I went back when they finally put schedule in with the pretty material design.

And it still doesn't have a transparent notification bar

Sven Dubbeld

I can kinda live with that in Calendar, but Maps could really use it.

bgraham

But if the notification bar is too white you can't see any notifications.

Raphael Duran

It could use a gray one, like the one in the Google Fit app

After moving to Android devices during the earliest releases, I'm gradually starting to hate Google. Features that I like are regularly removed and products that I used are killed off, making it difficult to trust Google. Forcing g+ on everyone really pissed me off.

They seem to be adopting the MS attitude of deciding that their users should never be given what they actually want.

My local grocery store seems to do the same thing. As soon as I find a snack I like...they stop carrying it.

Still black status bar , ehmmm

No month view widget? NOPE!
wtf, Goog, so behind the times.

Tyler

Fix the lag in schedule mode.

I switched to Business Calendar by Appgenix when Google took away month view. Not going back.

Simon Belmont

This is MUCH better. Just being able to see the color of the events in the overview view is a big one for me.

But the month view on a phone takes the cake, and should have never been removed in the first place. But, thank for you listening, Google.

How fugly and bloated can a calendar app get? This is is just awful. Back to my pre material calendar that always had month view with no stupid scenes of cartoons sleigh riding and sharks swimming. This is just awful all around. Google lays another turd upon us...
